Aluci's label certifies open-source projects that meet high standards in transparency, technical excellence, and human-centric design. Labeled projects are featured on the Aluci hub.
Requesting the Aluci label for your project is straightforward:

- Prepare your project: Ensure you have a proper license, documentation, and an
AI_USAGE.mdfile if AI tools were used during development. - Submit a request: Open a Label Request issue on this repository and fill out the form.
- Await review: The Aluci labeling committee will evaluate your project and provide feedback.
Our labeling criteria cover six key areas:
| # | Area | What We Look For |
